(Actually ordered that on Monday.)
After learning, that the KyoAni Shop accepts foreign credit cards, via the digital images sales that went around as a means of donating when donations weren't up yet, this is my first physical item order from them now. KyoAni exclusive artbooks have always been inflating in price after their limited run in the shop. But after the arson attack they have been exploding even more across the board. (My Hyouka artbooks being about 5x time their original price now have doubled over once more.)
I got the Violet Evergarden CM Keyframes artbook via Amazon JP Marktplace shortly after its release, but now that I know that I can buy it directly from the shop, I figured that's the most reasonable thing to do. Still somewhat facepalming over my own stupidity of not having simply tried it before, but oh well. (Registering is a slightly cumbersome, but doable.)
This VE artbook is scheduled for release in February 2020, so that's going to be a while yet. Money is being taken by the KyoAni Shop upfront if anyone wonders.
Not having much of a problem with that.
What does make a little bit sour is, that this artbook's preorder/order reservation cutoff date was the 14th and on the 15th they put that up again
OK, not that I would have gone for the framed picture (
30800Yen is a bit steep), but would have gone for the LNs. Just really, what's been is this stupid timing that wouldn't allow combined shipping. (Shipping is a flat fee per order unless you reach minimun cart value.)
